The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: “A Carefree and Innocent Child”

“―So it’s more efficient to go around like this to score points, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Currently, we are looking at the map with the points listed and deciding how to go around with me and Murakumo taking the lead.
Within the time limit, we are to press the seals with the points listed in the mountain, and the team that earns the most points is the winner.
Of course, since it was a school event, there were no perks for being first.
But even so, Murakumo and I had a serious discussion about it―.
“Let’s make sure we get first place…!”
Mirei wanted to win first place.
Then it was our turn, and the five of us went at it.
“Wow, it’s a pretty easy path to walk on, isn’t it?”
“I see, is this your first time here, Mirei?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Mirei had lived in Tokyo, so she had not been here for school camp in elementary or middle school.
That’s probably why she is so excited.
“You’re from Tokyo, right? I envy you.”
“Murakumo-san, do you have longing for Tokyo?”
“I think a lot of kids from the countryside would like to go to Tokyo, wouldn’t they?”
“You’re right~, Murakumo-san would probably be scouted by scouts if she walked around town.”
Indeed, Murakumo is as beautiful as Mirei.
However, because of her accent and tone of voice― no wait, isn’t she surprisingly in demand?
She even has the girls in our class captivated by her…
“I’m pretty sure Miss Arisugawa is the one who was recruited by the scouts.”
“Hmm~, I did get scouted a few times, but my father didn’t like that kind of thing.”
She got scouted?
That’s new information to me.
Uncle loves Mirei very much and would not want her to be an idol, which is dangerous for her.
No matter how careful they are, entertainers are more at risk than ordinary people.
And with a girl as pretty as Mirei, it was inevitable that he would be concerned.
“Aren’t you interested in being an idol?”
“I think they’re brilliant and nice, but I don’t think I’m a good fit for it.”
“Is that what you think so? On my opinion though, you’d be perfect for it.”
I agree with Murakumo.
Mirei is already attracting so many people that she is even called the “idol of the school”.
And she’s also very responsive. If she becomes an idol, I think people will say she’s a goddess.
As for singing and dancing, I don’t necessarily know about now, but she was good at it when she was young.
“I’m a pretty free spirit, you know? I don’t think I could be tied down by a schedule.”
“Ah, I see.”
I was so convinced that I just said it out loud.
This caused Mirei to look up at me in frustration.
“Somehow… if you’re that convinced, that makes me feel complicated?”
“No, it’s just that Mirei says she’s a free spirit, and I agree with that.”
She’s doing whatever she wants at home, and like always, she doesn’t knock when she comes into my room.
Besides, she’s always in my room.
“I think it’s because she’s carefree that she attracts everyone. You know, a girl who is so innocent and full of life is so cute, isn’t she?”
“Wow, Murakumo-san always has such good things to say! I wish Kakeru could learn from you!”
Mirei gives Murakumo a smiling face.
For some reason, the two seem to be getting along well.
“…………”
Meanwhile, Hanamaki-san was looking at Mirei as if she wanted to join the conversation.
I suppose she wants to join the conversation, too.
As for Kazuki― well, he’s trying to keep a low profile.
That’s strange, I thought he wasn’t like this…?
“Hanamaki-san, are we walking at a comfortable pace?”
“Fueh!? Y-Yeah, it’s fine…!”
It was probably because I spoke to her suddenly.
Hanamaki-san was startled and hurriedly shook her head.
Am I scaring her?
“If you’re having a hard time, just let me know, okay?”
“Mirei-chan… thanks…”
It seemed that I should leave Hanamaki-san to Mirei.
Since they are both girls, it would work out better for us.
We continued to collect points― and ended up in first place.

This was a short series, yeah? I think there’s like 8 more chapters? I wonder how this wraps up. Feels like something huge has to happen soon. Anyway this group is so awkward lol. Murakumo seems like a “progress pusher” character.
